    I haven't won anything yet but in all honesty I'm only doing about 30-40 a day.  In the past couple of years, I thought I was seriously down on other years by doing about 80-100! I miss the good old days of advents.  
    I am enjoying using the Advent board though, so much better and easier to use than a thread.

    I'm doing about 130 a day and won nowt so far :) Feels quite managable though so that's something.

    I've won a Brioche Pasquier scarf (first time* I've ever won anything on the advents!) but nothing else yet. I find it much better now there's a separate advents board; it always seemed a bit overwhelming with them jumbled in with the general comps, now I can keep track of everything much more easily.  I'm just pleased that there are still a fair few advents happening at all, even if there aren't as many/as many big companies doing them. After the year it's been I thought there would be a lot fewer than there actually are (though it is a bit annoying how many now are Instagram/across social media, much prefer a 'traditional' website advent). 
    (* actually I've just remembered I won some pigs in blankets once, so the second time!)

    Mr GB has won a hamper, but they've already messaged him to tell him they may be delivered late!

    So many competitions this year have had hampers as a prize, I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't run out by now, and need to restock.

    One small win, a memory card for my camera, which will get plenty of use.
    I don't much like the instagram comps so only enter for things I really really really want on there, there's too many that make you follow multiple pages. I don't really like the collab ones, I'd genuinely prefer to enter for one prize, however modest, that I really want, that have to enter for 5 things, 4 of which I'm not fussed about.
